Yes... a HUGE congrats to Coach LaHaye... she has done a tremendous job over the years at R-MC --- many more wins to come!!!

KHL had a nice game but she can not carry a team the way other players in the ODAC can.

You have every right to be excited about your team's 15-point win over the Eagles, but to take a shot at Katy?  Pretty bold considering this...

Katy is 6-2 against the Marlins in her career.  In those eight games, she averaged 10.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 steals, and 3.0 assists.  Find me an ODAC player who has produced better against your Marlins for their career.  Take all the time you need.

Oh, and just an FYI, in those two losses to VWC, Katy totaled two turnovers in 75 minutes of play.

With Katy at point guard for the Eagles, we are 5-3 in the ODAC tournament (two runner-up finishes).  The Marlins since Katy came into the league?  0-2.  And like I mentioned months ago, you all haven't won a tournament contest since 1994.

Again, please enjoy and boast about your team's victory.  But you immediately use your credibility when your bash another player - especially when it has no factual backing.  There's a reason Katy was freshman of the year in 2004, first-team all-conference in 2006, and likely the conference's player of the year this season.

Geeze Matt B.,
Calm down, get a grip, realize there are more important things in life.  But, the bottom line is that you totally over-reacted to someone's, an individual's, observation of the game.  We all know  Katy H-L is a good player, that speaks for itself.

So, for you to form a counter-attack of sorts, not only one one player, but an entire team and program, kind of makes you lose your credibility as well, since you are obviously too close to the BC program.

And name a player who has had better stats against VWC than Katy....did you forget a woman named Megan Silva??  Megan did carry her team the way the poster implied, the poster who got you all fired up.

I don't think VWC is boasting anything. I think they might be excited, don't you?  BC beat them by 16 early in the season and they just turned the tables on the Eagles in the rematch. 

And GAVA, did Ricky Bobby say this?

"You ain't won nothing yet."

We'll see who's left standing in a couple weeks, EMU, Bridgewater, VWC, or oh yeah, R-MC

I think there's a big line between VWCbeachbum's post and "taking a shot" at Herr Lovell.

Good call, jmill07 -- I was thinking the exact same thing... although I'm pretty sure Kid meant current ODAC players...

Nevertheless...

Megan Silva vs. VWC:
18.1 points per game, 4.5 rebounds per game, 5.1 steals per game, 7 assists per game, and a 7-1 record vs. VWC (the only loss was at the Batten Center in OT)

So I guess KHL only beats Silva in the rebounds column... everything else, Megan's superior.

R-MC with Silva --
3 ODAC Championships (11-1 in ODAC Tourney games)
3 NCAA Appearances -- 2nd Round, Championship Game, Elite 8 (8-3 in NCAA games)

... and then there's FOY, POY (3 times), 1st Team All-ODAC (4 times)

I could go on and on... but I won't!  Everyone knows how good Silv was

And GAVA, did Ricky Bobby say this?

"You ain't won nothing yet."

We'll see who's left standing in a couple weeks, EMU, Bridgewater, VWC, or oh yeah, R-MC

In regards to the regular season ( which is what we were talking about),
BC is already out, and we will see who is left standing in 6 days. My money is on RMC.

I totally disagree.  I do believe it was a veiled shot, and an incorrect shot.  No one who has seen Katy Herr Lovell play on a regular basis can believe that she does not "carry a team the way other players in the ODAC can."  Katy is an unselfish, team player who comes up big when she needs to.  I'm not saying she can do it all by herself, but she carries a team the way it should be carried.  Who "carries" VWC's team?  Who carries the other teams?  Who carries a team better than Katy?  I doubt they can compete with the probable ODAC player of the year.

[jmill07]

What is with the "probable ODAC player of the year" stuff?  It's nice that the Bridgewater faithful would like to see own of their own receive it, but you are tyring to make it sound like it's a done deal. Nothing good comes from that.

Waterlucy, do you realize how biased your post reads?  It's almost if there's no other player in the conference that can do what Katy can do.  Again, I think she's a good player, but there are other players out there who do a ton of things for their own teams as well, Hanson at Roanoke, Reisback at R-MC, Hunsinger at W&L, and so on. 

I think there's still some "Silva" envy going on.  Silva WAS that far separated from other players in the league.  If that happens again soon, we'll all be surprised.  But for now, its RMC, EMU, VWC and Bridgewater all right there together.

Geeze kid you are acting like the BC players did on the court Saturday. Something doesn't go your way and you don't know how to act. That in no way was a "shot" at Katie. My point was, as some other posters have pointed out , that there are several other very good players in the ODAC and some of them do carry their teams. KHL did not (at least on saturday which is the game I watched) seem to have the ability to put her team on her back and carry them. That has nothing to do with her not being a good or even great player, she had a good game against VWC and did some nice things. But in a game where her team need a lift, especially scoring, Herr was unable to deliver (2-12 from the floor). That is a stat that is not a shot.  To me that is what a POY does, carries her team when no one else is. Does that make me think any less of KHL abilities, no not at all. I can't believe I am really about to say this  that is what made Silva so great, there i said it.....She could carry her team by herself when she had to. That is why the rest of conference hated playing her, ( i mean that in a good way) no matter what you tried to do you knew that she could beat you.... Take a few deep cleansing breaths kid, it's not good for your health to get so worked up over one loss.

Who "carries" VWC's team?/quote]

Do you read the posts? Scroll back a few pages that has been a  whole topic of conversation. No one carries VWC, that is why i think they have the best shot at winning this thing when it comes to it. There isn't anyone on the VWC team that you can point out and say stop them and you win. So if you are really saying KHL carries BC then if you stop her (no pun intended) you stop BC.

[odacbballfan]

See now you have me all worked up.. You want players who carry their team? Laugh all you want but dispute it I dare you....

I think it might have more to do with 4 consecutive Duke losses than a BC womens one.  Sorry Kid. I couldn't resist. Especially after you had a front row viewing of my Heels going down at NC State.

Talk about two girls who really do carry their teams! They may just carry their team more than any other player in the whole conference!

[GAVA]

I am pretty sure it is the result of BC losing to RMC , then VWC, and being knocked into 4th place and out of contention for the regular season
Kid was certain BC was going to finish 1st.

[waterlucy]

My point was not that Katy is the only one to carry their team - it was that she carries her team.  I also believe other players carry their team at times - but not better than she does hers.
